Family mediation is a process where a trained neutral mediator helps separating or divorcing couples reach agreements about child arrangements, financial settlements, and property without going to court. Mediation is confidential, voluntary, and significantly cheaper and faster than court proceedings. Most families reach agreement in 3 to 5 sessions over 4 to 8 weeks.
A MIAM is a short individual meeting with a family mediator legally required before most family court applications in England and Wales. MIAMs with Clear Path Families cost from £120. The Government Family Mediation Voucher Scheme provides up to £500 towards mediation costs for eligible cases involving child arrangements.
Clear Path Families helps separating parents agree where children live, contact schedules, parenting plans, and holiday arrangements without going to court. Mediation is faster, cheaper, and better for long-term co-parenting than court proceedings.
Clear Path Families provides financial mediation covering division of property, savings, pensions, and debts. Pension sharing and pension offsetting options are explained. Financial mediation typically takes 2 to 4 sessions compared to 12 to 18 months for contested court proceedings.
Clear Path Families provides specialist SEN consultancy drawing on professional SENCO expertise. Services include EHCP applications, annual reviews, amendments, appeals, SEND tribunal preparation, McKenzie Friend support, school admission appeals, and SEN advocacy across Greater Manchester.
Clear Path Families uniquely combines family mediation with deep professional SENCO expertise, supporting families dealing with both separation and special educational needs simultaneously. This dual specialism is rare among UK mediation providers.
